Lauderhill Police are circulating a surveillance video that shows a gunman firing in a parking lot and then into a barber shop, wounding two people.

Detectives are hoping someone will recognize and report the suspect seen firing a weapon outside the Black Pearl Barber shop at 2990 Northwest 55th Avenue.

It happened around 5:11 p.m. on Nov. 30.

The victims, whose names are not being released, include a 46-year-old male with a wound to the abdomen and a 24-year-old man with a wound to the upper thigh. The older victim remains at Broward Health Medical Center in stable condition, police said.

The suspect is described as standing about 5-foot-8, with a thin build, wearing a black mask with two eye holes, dark colored jeans and a dark gray hooded jacket.

Besides the gunman, police also are trying to find a potential witness who is seen seated in a white vehicle parked just outside of the barber shop as the shooting occurred.

Investigators are urging anyone with information to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 or text a tip to TIP411 and put LPD in the beginning of the text followed by the information.
